Nutritional Upgrade: Strawberry Cheesecake

Cheesecake is delicious. When I eat cheesecake, I enter a state of euphoria where I lose any capacity to feel full and there is no such thing as calories. Needless to say, it isn’t something I should do often. So, I came up with a solution to that. Don’t worry, it isn’t one of those unsatisfying bite-size cheesecakes.

Cheesecake Factory’s Fresh Strawberry Cheesecake

*Based on the data they provided, there are 205 calories unaccounted for. This would be a combination of protein and unsaturated fat. I would guess between 10-15 g of protein (40-60 calories) and 16-18 g of unsaturated fat (145-165 calories). They also didn’t say anything about how many of the carbohydrates are sugars (my guess is 50g).
